If I may, Newbie does not own the JEM Watecaft the websites. I do. I'm
affiliated with Jacques Mertens, but the site is mine. I do have 2 of
Jacques' canoe designs available. Jacques has several of his plans on
sites like Clark Craft as well.

Let me say that I'm only here to participate in the forum. You get lots
of good ideas from just discussing boat building in general. Actually, I
only came to this news group because I did a search and saw my site was
being discussed here.

So if you have any other questions, feel free to ask here or e-mail me
direct at .

For the record, my sites are http://www.jem.e-boat.net/ and
http://www.jemwatercraft.com/ . I don't intend to keep repeating them
for advertising. Just wanted to clear up any misconceptions.

Thanks for your interest!

WRONG!! I have no commercial site. I asked a simple question if anyone
knew anything about this "JEM WATERCRAFT". I have suspicions it is a
Jacque Mertins business?? NEWBIE

Brian you might as well just forget it. There is a group of people on
this newsgroup that attack anything that doesn't pertain to there own
interests(money making). You can't even post non-commercial sites
because certain people get their crap in a uproar...it's a losing battle
here. LOL NEWBIE

I think what got you in trouble was posting your own site and trying
to pose as a third person in doing so. You got caught slick, and as
someone mentioned last time you cried this, no one tried to sell you
anything either, no one showed any "self interest". If you take five
minutes and look you will see that most of the most prevelant posters
here are private builders with no commercial interest at all. Someone
like myself who does have a commercial interest, rarely if ever note
my own products here, only competetors. get yourself a crying towel
and build some boats, bye, Scotty

It always happens. You are right in the middle of a project and you find
out that you are short on clamps. So what do you do? You try to figure
out some sort of jerry rig with bailing wire and duct tape to get the
job done.

Annoying spam, but even more annoying is that your home page forwards
you to ANOTHER page, which is annoying because I can't use the BACK
button to exit your site. Tell your web developer he needs to fix
this, cause I sure won't be back.

I am just wondering why you think this is spam? I am not selling you
anything, not trying to get you to sign up for anything. As a matter of
fact, I am not asking anything of you at all. I am only telling you about a
chance to win a dozen free clamps that have no catch whatever.

As far as the re-direct goes, I can hit the back button on any browser I use
and it works just fine (Opera, Safari, Mozilla, Netscape, Firebird,
Explorer).
